Plot revolves around two beautiful vampires in the English countryside. "Naked girls and lots of blood, that's what Vampyres is about," says Joseph Larraz in the notes to the film. He rewrites the vampire myth to make his bloodsucking lovelies the restless ghosts of lesbian lovers murdered while making love in their shadowy castle. Reappearing nightly in the twilight forest, they lure men to their castle for blood feasts until the brunette vampire, Fran (Marianne Morris), falls for her latest victim (Murray Brown) and decides to keep him alive, a sex slave she slowly drains dry. "You're playing a dangerous game," warns blonde Miriam (Anulka), perhaps just a tad jealous. As the local cops watch a veritable wrecking yard of car crashes fill up the sleepy back roads (all with naked dead men behind the wheels), you have to wonder if anyone finds this a bit suspicious. It's a slim story filled with misty forests, candlelit castle interiors, and the above-mentioned blood and naked flesh. Larraz adds a few poetic flourishes--blood dripping down pale faces, clouds crawling past a castle--but, more important, gives the living dead girls a genuinely passionate relationship and a zest for nightlife. Tough to find erotic gothic horror film released by Magnum Entertainment.
Yes, as director Joseph Larraz himself has said, the film does deliver on the "blood and naked women". But Vampyres really is so much more than *just* an exploitaion film. The film really, I think, brings a fresh approach to the whole vampire theme, jettisoning nearly all the typical conventions and cliches of vampire films that Hammer and Universal had built up in thier films, in exchange for approaches that I think are pretty unique to the film. The gothic atmosphere is very well done, and I liked that Larraz accomplished this without the usual reliance on fake dry ice fog and fake lightning and thunder and the like. Rather, everything was accomplished through superb use of the late autumn English woods and country location settings, as well as the great choice of location shooting sites for the Vampyres' mansion and its interiors (no studio sets in this one). And great shots of the actual sky and clouds. Vampyres is probably one of the most naturalistic of gothic horror movies. Marianne Morris and Anulka are really superb in thier roles. It's not just thier looks, but an amazing on-screen presence and intensity, and a willingness to throw themselves into every scene with total commitment and relish. The scenes with them stalking the woods are just as stunning as any of the more "active" scenes in the film. And finally, as for the "exploitation" elements, the sexuality, while venturing into soft core territory, is imaginative and done with genuine style, while the violence is unusually realistic and genuinely horrifying for a vampire film.
